About your team
At the centre of Fidelity’s success is our approach to managing money, which the philosophy unchanged since we were founded. Our approach places first-hand, detailed research at the core of our decision making, ensuring that every security – whether equity or bond – is investigated in detail before being included in our funds. We subsequently build our funds from the bottom up, stock by stock, taking account of market trends but not being driven by them.

A presence across key ‘investment centres’ ensures that we truly penetrate the business, economic, political and social landscapes in each region we operate. This local fluency, born primarily out of local staffing, is fused with a global investment philosophy and communications systems.
